Hello Carl,
(As I've opined before, IME many people consider what we might call inline posting to be "bottom posting". I follow language that usage.)
More and more these days, on many mailing lists, I see *real* bottom posting(1); Several screens of quoted text below which is added a word or two of reply. It's got to the stage for me that, when I see emails, the first thing I check is the scroll bar. If that indicates more than two screens of text, I simply ignore it - it's rare indeed that, on a mailing list, an email worth reading is that long.
(1) Possibly as a result of people misusing the term when they really mean in-line or interpolated posting.
